And in a recent interview with Seventeen, Yara breaks down the genuine love she has for her natural curls and why they're such a big part of her life.

When you’re a part of a minority of any kind, you’re told not to take up much space, but my hair does that, so there’s nothing I can do except take up the space with it. It gives me confidence…I love the fact that my hair can be intimidating at times.
